There is a strong buy-side support concentrated in the $105,000–$106,000 range. “Combined macro uncertainty and tightening dollar liquidity are driving a rise in short-term risk aversion, increasing volatility potential,” the analysts say. Additionally, the US Federal Reserve’s “data blackout underscores a decline in policy transparency and a distortion of market ￰8￱ official data becomes unreliable, capital increasingly turns to real-time market pricing as the ‘only credible indicator’.” “This shift, paradoxically, strengthens crypto markets’ relative advantage in liquidity-based price ￰9￱ the long term, data sovereignty and informational transparency are poised to become the new frontiers in monetary trust,” the analysts ￰10￱ days of sustained below-neutral funding after the largest OI flush the market has ever ￰11￱ is down bad, people are capitulating all over the ￰12￱ is the max opportunity zone for alts ￰13￱ — AntiFragile (@0x_anti) October 23, 2025 Moreover, Dom Harz, Co-Founder of BOB , argued that Bitcoin’s recent fluctuations are “merely a distraction from its long-term trajectory.” The price has been moving around $109,000, and net Bitcoin ETF inflows rose past $470 million, which highlights “strong institutional confidence in the digital asset.” At the moment, “we are witnessing Bitcoin transition from a fringe asset to one that is rooted in the global financial system, and technical progress within Bitcoin DeFi is moving in step,” Harz says.

Moreover, “as mainstream adoption accelerates Bitcoin’s integration as a core component of the global financial system, institutions holding BTC want to put their assets to work, and that’s where Bitcoin DeFi comes in,” he adds. “The foundations being built today, including hybrid chains like BOB, are transforming Bitcoin from a static asset into a programmable financial infrastructure, fit for institutions.” Levels & Events to Watch Next At the time of writing on Friday morning, BTC trades at $111,254. Earlier in the day, BTC climbed from the intraday low of $108,872 to $111,295. However, it then dropped back to the $109,000 level.

Nonetheless, it has subsequently increased to the day’s high of $111,481. It has turned green in the 7-day period, now being up by 4.1%. If BTC breaks above $111,750, it could move toward $115,900 and $120,000. This would result in a confirmed renewed bullish momentum.

However, if it closes below $107,350, the coin could drop further to $104,500 and $101,100.
